The week closed with a BLAST.
Phew! the weekend is here. finally. this week had been very good. despite the dreadful Monday, which was later diagnosed as a disgusting syndrome known as the Monday blues. I realised its not just me. many CS year 3s are feeling WEIRD deep inside. is "weird" the word? i dont know. its this hybrid. a hybrid of loss and sub-conscious stress, and perhaps some say,"not being in control". i totally agree. Year 3 is like a whole new level of uni life. yes. shed away the fun. the competition is stiffer, the stress level is higher, and less time for everything else. Welcome to year 3.
as for me, i am still getting used to it. it takes time. but i must say that the days got better after Monday. Tues was great. i had time to go jogging with Jingyi which of course helped improve my mood by a whole notch. i had time to do many things, and i love it. i enjoy the luxury of time. the time for some personal space, the time to do what i want to.
Wed was THE DAY. Yoohoo! we had CS homecoming which was a huge success. there were many small stalls set up in school, and naturally, me and Hsu's pocket money kinda vanished there. We bought some accessories which are really nice! at night, which is the highlight of Wed, we had dinner at the CS rooftop. the crowd was good. i love nothing better than being able to gather with the people from CS. they are a really fun bunch of confidantes, albeit a little rowdy. THese people definitely made my school days much more memorable. thanks darlings. and the performance was good. there were 4 bands. and of course, Colin's band, KingKong Jane, never fail to impress. They started off with an energetic number by Franz Fredinand, which got everyone grooving. we were all dancing and jumping and screaming and singing. it was crazy. we screamed so much that we had no voice after the performance. yah, i repeat the word "crazy". that night, i felt the whole usual CS liveliness reemerging again. the feeling was one of excitement, happiness and a tremendous bout of resminiscence. i was very touched by the scene that unfolded before me. everything may change-the workload, the stresss, the competition-but no, this CS spirit always remains. the bonding between us. i felt it come alive again. i saw Colin leading the crowd, and yes, the crowd was WILD. it was simply memorable. not to mention some editors who were drunk and high. haha. :)
Well, its finally friday. i just did an interview and going to start on my article tonight. i am going to Arab Street tml! yay! and it just occured to me that i can bring along my camera to take photos for my photojourn. played with the camera yest. the photos i took are normal. nothing i like. mmm.. i showed kevin's website to wk yest. and he agrees that kevin takes VERY GOOD photos. i am impressed by Kevin seriously. i think that the yr 4 batch which just graaduated is a whole lot of talented bunch. Kevin's photos were really good! I want to learn man. THis senior is really someone i look up to with lots and lots of admiration.
and yes, the week ended with a BLAST.
